This year, Lindeberg was named one of GQ's Best New Menswear Designers for his most personal line yet, BLK DNM. "I don't have to listen to anyone and I can do what I like," he said of the label. "I think I have that privilege at this point in my career." From white roses (he once sent 350 of 'em to a girl he liked) to, well, black denim, Lindeberg's necessities reflect that I-do-whatever-the-f*ck-I-want attitude. It's time for a lesson from the fashion world's biggest rebel.

1. Vintage Gucci Shoes

"I'm very much into the shape of things, and I just like the shape of these shoes. They need to be a little bit sharp, because if they're too round, they become too organic somehow. I love shoes, and wear them until they're ruined. I found these at a vintage store on 7th Street [in NYC] three months ago; I think I can use them for the winter, and then they're probably dead."

2. BLK DNM Jeans 25

"There's a reason why the name [of my label] is BLK DNM: because I'll always be wearing black denim. This is the skinniest model we have. I've been wearing these every day for three months without washing them, and the creases are getting really beautiful. I think washing destroys the soul of the jeans; it's very symbolic, somehow. I can combine them with a leather jacket, a blazer, or a tudo blazer. I even like to wear black jeans on the beach at Montauk."

3. Tattoo

"This is actually my most valuable thing—it's a drawing my daughter Blue did on the wall in charcoal when she was eight years old, while we were living in Los Angeles and I was working with Justin Timberlake [on his line, William Rast]. I'm not really a tattoo guy, but when I saw this, I had to get one. It was done by [the Shamrock Social Club's] Mark Mahoney, who's a legend in the tattoo industry. I'm a very engaged father, so instead of having her name, I have a drawing."

4. 1950s Rolex Oyster Perpetual

"I got it at a vintage store in L.A. Because of my beard and tattoo, I think it's a very chic touch—I like attitude mid with chic. Unfortunately, it just stopped, so I need to go get it repaired."

5. Vintage Givenchy Scarf

"I'm known for my scarves—I've been wearing them for twenty years. This one is vintage and it's silk, which is kind of feminine, but I think it works really well with the texture of a leather jacket or a blazer. The last one I had caught on fire. At [NYC club] Le Baron, I went to kiss a girl and bent over a candle, and schwoop! It almost took my beard."

6. Fujifilm X-Pro 1 Camera

"I started seriously doing photography two years ago, and I'm very passionate about it. Every day we post new pictures on our blog, BLK DNM Close-Up. This camera's incredible—I do all the studio shoots with it, but it has the feeling of a smaller camera. I love it."

7. BLK DNM x Moscot Glasses

"These are my design, but I was really inspired by the French moviemaker Jean-Luc Godard, who always wore glasses with this kind of cat lift. I've done three shades, and they all kind of have this cat-eye shape."

8. White Roses

"I've always loved white roses. One time I sent 350 of them to a girl I was really into. There's something free about them; I don't know what it is, but it's very liberating. I'm a Swede, so I grew up with dark winters and candles, and the candles match the white roses. I've moved probably fifty times in my life, from country to country, so I like to have a few things to ground my environment, and one of them is white roses. When I land, I like white roses to be there."

9. Silver Necklace Chains from Melet Mercantile

"I like a little bit of a flamboyant twist…maybe because I look quite strong with my beard. I like them to hang out of my shirt, and this one here has my daughter's picture in it. I wear these everyday."

10. BLK DNM Biker Jacket

"The biker jacket is a symbol of BLK DNM. When I was voted the best-dressed man in Sweden in '93, I was wearing a white biker jacket, so it's something that has been following me throughout the years. When I feel trapped, I always put on my jacket; it has a lot of attitude, and it's a symbol of anarchy and liberation."
